£271k, not much really when you think about the £20,000,000+ that Croydon council paid out to "interim" staff, some of whom were on £800 a DAY, in 2011 when they were handing out redundancy notices left, right and centre to the ordinary hardworking council employees because they were "tightening their belts". Ironically, most of the people that were made redundant lived, and spent their salary locally, whereas 99% of the "interim" staff lived and spent their money outside Croydon. Councillor Jason Perry should be ashamed of himself and his cohorts, councillors Pollard, Pearson and Bashford.

What's disgraceful is fat boy Jason criticising someone for exercising their legal, democratic rights. He'd just love it if the public rolled over when he and his chums sent in the bulldozers.

Anne, you just don't get it, do you? For a start, as Arfur Towcrate says, Michael Fuller was exercising his legal and democratic right to object, AND HE DID PAY! He paid what he could afford, a local solicitor. If Croydon council had done the same, instead of deciding to hire one of the most expensive city lawyers around to spend Croydon taxpayers money (that's you, me and everybody else's money, Anne), we would only be looking at a very small legal bill. One more thing to think about, Anne, most of the top people employed by Croydon Council (the ones that control the budget) live OUTSIDE of Croydon, so really don't give a toss about wasting OUR money, because they do not contribute to the pot. Perhaps it's really you that should be labelled as the "stupid person".

There you have it, folks. Croydon Conservatives' mouthpiece wants to tax people who want to protect the environment and who have the nerve to stand in the way of the Tory wreckers.

I bet if Labour got in and wanted to ruin her backyard, she would resent having to cough up a penny to stop it.
